Come on in...sit a spell.

What's the best part of visiting the new home of an old friend? Seeing their new place, of course. But since most of you will probably not get a chance to visit us here, you won't get the chance to see it in person.

Thanks to modern technology you don't have to fly over the pond to get here, though I'll bring our apartment to you. Your wait is over. Welcome to our virtual tour.

This picture is of the entry when you first enter our flat. To the right, there is a door leading to our guest room and office. Immediately in front of you is our dining room that leads to our kitchen on your left and the den to the right. The door on the right leads to the den.

Our guest room on the left. Don't forget to bring your slippers when you come to visit. These floors are cold in the morning! No worries about pillows, though we have plenty of them.

And our dining room. When are you coming to dinner? We've saved a place for you.

Our kitchen that's oddly apportioned really. It's a little too modern for my taste and whomever designed it must never have cooked. The sink, dishwasher, and trash bin are on the opposite side of the fridge, oven, and stove. I'm constantly running from side to side trying to coordinate everything. I guess beggars can't be choosers, though. A little kitchen workout never hurt anyone.

The den, which is complete with a voyeur's dream--no curtains. After the curtain fiasco in the bedroom, I decided to forgo curtains because there is a big tree blocking the view across the street. Well, that decision was made in the summertime. Now all of the leaves have fallen off the tree and when you walk in front of the building you can EVERYTHING. Oh well, the neighbors get a little winter treat every evening now. Oh see, we have something to contribute after all.

Off the den, you make a right down the hall to get to our bedroom....complete with a lazy dog. Maybe if you ask nicely, she'll scoot over and share her bed with you.

So, when did you say your flight was again?
